Will Andrew of the Elmwood Post Office reported that at this point the plan for the Elmwood Post Office is a reduction of hours to 4 hours a day. Nothing is "set" and anything could change at any time, which could include the closing of the post office. In January or February of 2013 a survey will go out to residents and it is advised that as many residents as possible fill out and return this survey. A representative of USPS will hold a town hall meeting tentatively in March.

Ronhovde expressed her appreciation to Blunt and everyone else who was involved in preparation of the Holiday Extravaganza and for making it a success.

Per auditor's suggestion, the Village Board will begin approving Library claims submitted for payment and the checks will be signed by the Village Board beginning immediately. The Library will approve the claims at their monthly meeting and then will provide the claims to the Village Board for approval and signature of checks.
